This top-floor two-bedroom flat sits over the first and second floors of a handsome Victorian mid-terrace, offered chain free with a very long lease (989 years) and a share of freehold. Bright rooms and large period windows give generous living space (approx. 77 m² / 823 sq ft) and a decorative cast-iron fireplace adds character. A private garden and double glazing increase comfort and appeal.
Practical running costs are straightforward: mains gas central heating, low ground rent (£100pa) and council tax band C. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit homeworking or commuting, and Streatham Station plus many bus routes are within easy reach. Local amenities, supermarkets and several highly rated primary and secondary schools make this a sensible family or first-home purchase.
Notable points to consider: the EPC is rated D and the building has solid brick walls assumed to lack cavity insulation, so further thermal improvements may be required to reduce bills. The wider area records above-average crime and higher deprivation indices — buyers should factor this into decisions about resale or rental prospects. Service charge details are minimal due to the share of freehold; obtain confirmation of any communal costs.
Overall this is a well-located period flat with long-term security of tenure and clear potential for modest improvement to boost energy performance and value. It will suit first-time buyers or investors seeking a roomy, characterful property near Streatham transport and amenities.
